Program Description: The Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Business Administration requires the prior completion of the AAS degree either at ABTU or another appropriately accredited institution. This program prepares individuals to face the management and administrative challenges encountered in the current high-tech global environment. The core courses in the program are designed to provide the student with the statistical analysis, economics, business law, accounting and finance knowledge and skills to identify and analyze business issues; the marketing abilities to develop functional solutions; and the management disciplines to implement and maintain those solutions. The general education components of the program augment these abilities from the obvious courses in technical writing, business psychology, and safety and health in the workplace, to the indirect influences of political and environmental science. Students may choose optional management or marketing courses to fulfill their elective requirements.
